Hi all,

I use IDL 5.2 for windows to embed some IDL calulations and plotting in
a Director project. (Multimedia) I have no problems in using the ActiveX
interface, that comes with IDL, to make calls to IDL, draw plots and so
on.

But I have an IDL GUI builder application where i would like to move all
the buttons and sliders into my project. I was hoping to "just" pull the
information out off the GUI builder generated app.pro and make similar
calls from my ActiveX project. There does however seem to be some
problems in doing this.

All events that "happens" on the GUI interface generates a call to the
app_eventcb.pro file. This is the call i would like to replicate. But
apperently the information transfered along with the call (a struct
called EVENT), contains some information regarding the GUI object, that
it no longer there since i create my own GUI.

I can create a fake EVENT stucture and change for exampel the VALUE
field for a slider but it will not run since it expects some special
value for the ID field. I have tried some different things but nothing
seems to work. I can however make it work by making changes to the
app_eventcb.pro file, but this is not the "cleanest" sollution for me.

Is there a workaround i can use?
Or is there another way of converting the GUI?
